Hi Folks,

Finally getting started on a shop diorama. The shop will be a display for my wrecker build and some cars. The plan is an 80's building of cinder block walls and metal roof.

Starting with one of the machines I plan on having, a lathe.....

Using good old ' Lego's' for a nice solid foundation. Got that idea from a modeller named Barney on another site who built some wonderful , sheet sytrene covering...

Hi Folks,

Jonathan, That's what I thought when I saw it!

Neal, thanks, Will pm you a link.

Hi Joe, Thank you for following this one!

Jim, Thank you and hope you don't mind me stealing ideas from your dio :D:D

Paul and Jim, Don't cast my own, have a large stash of detail parts from a few decades of train modelling that come in handy.

Hi Rick, Glad you like it!

Sam, Thank you.

Hi Ray, Thanks and your latest build looks like it will be great fun to follow. Did not know that Cougar ever existed.

Thank you James!

Update, finishing this up and going with a well used look,,,
